I don't got any pics of the steps, but I know the ultimate basing technique.

1; Mix PVA glue with your basing material (MUST BE FINE such as; Earth, Sand) till you get a paté like consistency.

2; Apply this mix heavily over the whole base so you get 1-2cm high layer with Sand-PVA Paté. Quickly dip this into your raw basing material you used in the PVA to make it Paté. If you want things like rocks, city fight details, pipes or any simillar I suggest you add that into the Paté before you do anything else.

3; When you've done this, let it cure 15-20minutes, then stick your mini (without base or slot-plank. Only foots allowed, or whatever your models stands on) into the mix. If you do this to early, Paté will get stuck on the mini and ruin the effect. You do this to have the model sink down into the base and not hover above it, to make everything look more natural.

4; Let everything cure, take a knife if you feel to do this extra step and cut of any excees Paté that have rooled down on the sides of the base

5; Basecoat, Paint, glue your mini on. Get astonished.






This is about how it looks (currently PIP for my skaven Mordheim warband)

Its a cool idea, but looks kinda messy and is quite tall looking for a base.

How long does it take for it to dry?

[Warwolt the engineer]

half an hour perhaps. Not messy, really. It looks far more realistic than the completely flat bases. Its not more than 1cm-1,5cm anyway so Works very good for me. Try it out yourself, you´ll get VERY pleased.

-This is a great technique I did this to one of my orcs and it came out really well-
